Fabulous (2022)

La superficialité avec des paillettes...

Je n'attendais rien de Fabulous, mais il m'a ennuyé et déçu tout du long. La comédie n'existe pas ou seulement au détriment de Joseph. Quant à la romance, elle est si hypocrite et forcée qu'elle en est devenue ridicule.

Fabulous rassemble une majorité de ce que je n'apprécie pas dans les dramas. La superficialité à son paroxysme tant dans sa vie professionnelle que personnelle. Une bonne (une avalanche) d'hypocrisie. Juste des filtres, rien de concret. Pour moi, c'est vide et sans aucune profondeur. Les défilés en sont le parfait exemple : pauvres et sans figurants. Une poignée de photographes et des plans rapprochés ou sous différents angles ne suffit pas à donner l'illusion, c'est dommage.

Quant au message du drama (et à moins d'être littéralement à côté de mes pompes) : être riches, beaux et en bonne santé c'est plus facile qu'être pauvres, moches et mal fichus. Merci, Captain Obvious !

Bref. Oubliable.

Over the top, exaggerated

Not sure if this story even touches the reality of the fashion world, but the whole thing was so clichéd and looked like parts were borrowed from many other fashion movies.
Not sure if it was meant to be a romcom or a slice of life - it didn't fit either genre.

It could have been classified as a light hearted sweet drama - but no!
I'm sorry it is not sweet. The over acting of all the characters makes you grit your teeth and bang your head for watching it.

Except for three , EVERY other character acts atrociously over the top. It could very well be the director or writer's imagination of the behavior of people who work in the fashion industry, but those poor fashion folks should validate this overbearing nonsense.

The only one who did a great job is the supermodel. Not only was she stunning, but she flowed through her role as a supermodel and kept her emotions beautifully underplayed. She was really a superb actor.
The other two actors who stood out were the ex- boyfriend and the editor of the magazine - who had really small roles.

The ML was so lost, the FL was all over the place trying to be the eternal goddess of goodness.
And everyone else - seriously- behaved like they were in some exaggerated street mime show.
